The Baggies have won just one of their 13 Championship games this season and are 21st in the table following a goalless draw with Luton.

Bruce’s backroom team consisting of Steve Agnew, Stephen Clemence and Alex Bruce have also left the club.

A West Brom statement read: “The club would like to place on record its thanks to Steve Bruce and his coaching staff for their efforts since arriving in February.”
